Dennis Quaid faces off against big tech and cancel culture over his Reagan biopic! Find out how Facebook fumbled and what Joe Rogan had to say!
Actor Dennis Quaid recently sat down with Joe Rogan to discuss his latest project—a biopic about President Ronald Reagan—and the bizarre challenges he faced promoting it. Quaid revealed that Facebook had throttled posts about the movie, leading to some head-scratching moments. The social media giant later admitted to mistakenly blocking content, calling it an error, but not before Quaid had called out Mark Zuckerberg for the censorship. The debacle even led Quaid to scratch his head and wonder what on earth was going on!
Quaid explained to Rogan that there were several attempts to 'cancel' him during the making of the Reagan biopic. 'You wouldn't believe how many times they tried to shut us down,' Quaid said, sharing his bafflement over the scrutiny the project attracted. This led to a broader conversation about the political correctness rife in Hollywood. Rogan was quick to chime in, remarking that Hollywood has a long history of 'blackballing' conservatives, an assertion that Quaid confirmed with a knowing nod.
The conversation didn't stop there. Rogan and Quaid delved into the concept of the 'Woke Mind Virus,' a term popularized by Elon Musk to describe a new wave of extreme political correctness. Rogan said that the entertainment industry often adopts this 'woke' ideology to such a degree that it sidelines any dissenting voices. Quaid agreed, sharing his own experiences of being ostracized for not conforming to these new cultural norms.
It's not all bad news for Quaid, though. The controversy has inadvertently served as free promotion, sparking curiosity and discussions about the Reagan biopic. And Quaid, for one, is not backing down. 'We made this movie because we believed in it,' he stated emphatically, 'and no amount of censorship is going to change that.'
Here’s a juicy tidbit: Dennis Quaid isn't just playing Ronald Reagan; he's also taken on the role of the film's producer, making his fight against censorship personal as well as professional. And speaking of Joe Rogan, did you know his podcast is now one of the most listened-to shows globally, with millions tuning in for his no-holds-barred takes on everything from MMA to AI?
In conclusion, the trials and tribulations faced by Quaid in getting his Reagan biopic to audiences may have been numerous, but they only underscore his commitment to the project. If you’re a fan of political dramas, keep an eye out for this film, and maybe, just maybe, Dennis Quaid will win his own real-life battle off-screen as well.
